ROD’S ROAD - The question following Rod Rosenstein’s resignation as deputy AG is where he’ll end up. Rosenstein, 54, hasn’t worked in private practice for more than 30 years. In 1987 he was a summer associate at President Richard Nixon’s now-defunct law firm, Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon, and he spent the following summer at Philadelphia’s Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis. Rosenstein is set to leave the DOJ on May 11.

NEXT WAVE - Not to be a party-pooper amid the best entry-level lawyer job news in a decade, but you might want to put the cork back in the champagne. As Karen Sloan reports, some of that gain—up to 78.6 percent of the class of 2018 had secured full-time, long-term jobs that either require bar passage, or for which a law degree offers an advantage within 10 months of graduation—was fueled by fewer law graduates competing for jobs and not by a significant increase in the number of entry-level legal jobs. What’s more, more law graduates are slated to hit the hiring market in 2019, leaving questions about whether job gains will continue.
